This time, I visited a place about a 5-minute walk from Imafuku-Tsurumi, where a person who used to work at Kadoya is now running their own shop! When you enter the store, it smells like Kadoya! The menu also looks like Kadoya. What to order at Kadoya? Yes, I ordered the tsukemen! The dipping broth is richer in animal flavors compared to Kadoya, which I prefer! The noodles were also incredibly smooth and delicious. Tsukemen is just irresistible! Thank you for the meal.

On the last day of my visit back home, I decided to have lunch at this restaurant. I had a sudden craving for wonton noodles, which I had never tried before, so I ordered a wonton noodle soup. The Chinese noodles were delicious, and the wontons were incredibly tasty. I look forward to visiting this place again on my next trip back home.

This is my usual lunch. With temperatures exceeding 35 degrees, all I can think of is cold noodle dishes. I decided to visit Tsuruya's black pork cold Chinese noodles, which I enjoyed last year. I cycled there, which took me about 15 minutes one way! The limited-time black pork cold Chinese noodles have increased in price from 1200 yen to 1380 yen, and other menu items have also increased by about 50-100 yen. Considering the current situation, I think it's understandable. Limited-time menu: - Limited Quantity Black Pork Cold Chinese Noodles 1380 yen Noodle dishes: - Chinese noodles 950 yen - Seafood Chinese noodles 950 yen - Wonton noodles 1250 yen - Miso ramen 1000 yen - Curry Chinese noodles 1100 yen - Service set meal 1100 yen - Cold dipping noodles regular 1250 yen, large 300 yen, extra-large 400 yen - Kama-tama dipping noodles 1350 yen - Black pork umami soba (soupless, with mini rice) 1200 yen - Curry umami soba (soupless, with mini rice) 1200 yen - Toppings: Flavored egg 150 yen, Wonton 150 yen, Menma 250 yen, Green onions 100 yen, Pork feet 680 yen (for dipping noodles only), Extra noodles 300 yen, Special black pork simmered pork extra 700 yen Rice dishes: - Black pork rice 550 yen - Cha-mayo bowl 550 yen - Black pork menma rice 600 yen - Stamina black pork rice 680 yen - Tamago kake gohan 380 yen - White rice small 150 yen, medium 250 yen, large 350 yen Seasonal limited-time dish! I visited last summer and there were other menu items I was interested in, but a year has passed without revisiting, so I came back to have the cold Chinese noodles. This dish has a certain charm that makes me want to come back for it. Limited Quantity Black Pork Cold Chinese Noodles: Served in a deep plate with a touch of Chinese style, the noodles are neatly arranged with a bit of sauce visible. The presentation is simple with seasoned egg in the center, chopped chashu on the left, and chopped cucumber on the right, but it somehow leaves an impact. The thick noodles and the chopped chashu, seasoned egg, chopped cucumber, and a touch of chili oil create a harmonious visual. The slightly flat thick homemade noodles are quite voluminous. The glossy black sauce is made by Sansei Foods in Higashi-Yodogawa, Osaka, with added seafood flavor. It is not too sweet or sour but has a rich flavor that coats the thick noodles well, providing a satisfying texture and a smooth eating experience. The chashu is made with Kagoshima Kogen Royal Pork, and the fatty part is incredibly delicious. The charred surface adds a nice smoky flavor, whether eaten on its own, dipped in the sauce, or with mustard. The chopped cucumber with chili oil adds a crunchy texture and a spicy kick as an accent. Mixing the half-cooked egg yolk with the noodles enhances the richness and umami flavor. The cold thick noodles leave you feeling full and satisfied, providing a cooling sensation from the inside out. This dish is definitely fulfilling and satisfying. In conclusion, this dish has a simple combination of three ingredients but has a visually appealing impact. The ruggedness of the thickly chopped chashu and cucumber creates a certain charm that appeals to the eyes.

Fortunately, I finished work at noon and decided to check out this place that was open. The atmosphere inside was nice and had a good balance. I ordered the Chinese noodles, egg over rice, and flavored egg. I decided to try the soup first. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the finished dish was served. The soup had a good soy sauce flavor followed by the delicious taste of the meat. The bamboo shoots were just the right texture. The noodles had a nice texture and a good flavor that followed after a smooth swallow. It was delicious and not too heavy, which made it even better. I quickly finished about half of it. The egg over rice looked ordinary but had a good balance of flavors. I'm not sure what made it so good, maybe the egg or the rice, but the combination was tasty. Even though the portion was large, it was delicious. I easily finished the remaining ramen as well. This is what they mean by being surprised by the difference in taste. Thank you for the meal. Today's lunch - Chinese noodles, egg over rice, flavored egg: 1480 yen. Parking fee: 200 yen.

[Kadoya's authentic tsukemen and hiyashi chuka] Wednesday 11:40, one seat available. I went with a friend, so we waited outside for about 5 minutes. The owner runs the shop by himself. This place used to be known as the most famous Kadoya in Osaka a few years ago, but they changed their name and started fresh. The counter seats and the space between seats are quite wide, maybe due to the remnants of COVID? Or was it always like this? It seems like a bit of a waste of space! - Tsukemen (regular) ¥1250 - Black pork hiyashi chuka (limited quantity) ¥1380 - Black pork rice ¥550 The atmosphere of the owner, who seems reserved and might scold you if you make too much noise, gives off a strong artisan vibe! A sign saying "water is also an ingredient" shows their exceptional dedication...! Both the tsukemen and hiyashi chuka that came out had incredibly beautiful noodle lines! It's worth taking a photo just for that! First, the tsukemen! The beautifully arranged noodles are easy to pick up. When dipped in the sauce and eaten... oh my goodness, it's delicious! This is the best tsukemen I've ever had! The overwhelming flavor of the noodles stands out! The rich soup, made with seafood, kombu, and black pork broth, is quite salty when tasted alone, but when combined with these exquisite flat, medium-thick noodles, it creates the perfect taste! Compared to that, the hiyashi chuka had high-quality noodles and toppings, but the soup, or rather, that part was subtle and didn't fully bring out the flavor of the noodles. The black pork rice is a simple dish with tender black pork on top of rice, but the seasoning feels a bit too strong, making it delicious but also slightly wasteful. However, the tsukemen was so delicious that it made up for it. Considering the high salt content of the dipping sauce, I might order extra noodles or get a large serving with extra white rice next time! I'll be going back soon to have the tsukemen special serving! *The rating is based on the tsukemen only.

Located near Imafuku-Tsurumi Station in Osaka's Tsurumi Ward, there is a Chinese noodle restaurant called Tsuruya. Look at this beautiful noodle! It's been a while since I last visited, but it was so delicious that I couldn't help but exclaim how good it was! They have started a limited-time special dish, the Chilled Black Pork Chinese Noodles for 1100 yen. I love the smooth noodles with a vinegar-infused soy sauce base topped with spicy oil, mustard, black pork, cucumber, and seasoned egg. It's absolutely fantastic! The Dipping Noodles (regular size) for 1250 yen were also amazing. The noodles were so clean and smooth, and the dipping sauce was incredibly delicious. I was moved by how good it was! As you can see in the photo, the Braised Black Pork Lifter for 680 yen was juicy and irresistible. It went perfectly with the noodles, truly a match made in heaven! I love this place so much, I will definitely visit again. #OsakaGourmet #OsakaLunch #OsakaRamen #OsakaChineseNoodles #OsakaDippingNoodles #OsakaChilledChineseNoodles #TsurumiWardGourmet #TsurumiWardLunch #TsurumiWardRamen #DippingNoodles #Ramen #DippingNoodles #ChineseNoodles #Tsuruya #Today'sTop3Recommendations #LimitedTime #ChilledChineseNoodles #BlackPork #PorkFeet #Noodles #Noodlestagram #RamenLovers #DippingNoodlesLovers

At first, I thought the owner was quiet and maybe a bit scary, but he was very serious and polite when it came to serving ramen and handling the payment. I thought he must be a sincere person! I went there wanting to try the limited cold ramen and ordered 1.5 servings, which was the right choice! It was incredibly delicious! The regular ramen was also nostalgic and easy to eat.

I had the tsukesoba (dipping noodles) in regular size~(*^^*) It was delicious no matter how many times I eat it (*´ч`*) The noodles were smooth and tasty, so good that the regular size quickly disappears~ But the option for a larger size for an additional 300 yen... I wish they had soup refills, that would be great~

I was drawn in by the delicious looking noodles of Hiyashi Chuka and decided to make the journey. I arrived 20 minutes before the opening time on Saturday at 10:40 am, but there was no one there. I wandered around for a while, feeling a bit anxious. The store opened about 5 minutes late and I was the first customer. I ordered the limited edition Black Pork Hiyashi Chuka for 1,380 yen. The dish was served in about 10 minutes. The noodles were flat and medium thick, with a smooth texture and good firmness. The tangy Chinese sauce with crunchy sliced cucumbers and homemade spicy oil added a nice kick. The grilled chashu topping had a nice smoky flavor and a good balance of fat and sweetness. The seasoned egg was also delicious, with a perfectly gooey yolk. Each ingredient was cooked with care and the dish was truly delicious.

Originally from the Kadoya Shokudo Tsurumi store, the owner opened a new store with a different name. You can still feel the essence of Kadoya with its sharp, rich soy sauce flavor, crunchy bamboo shoots, large slices of pork, and glossy noodles. It's great to have a place nearby where you can enjoy the taste of Kadoya.

I heard that there is a popular ramen shop near Osaka Metro Imafuku-Tsurumi Station that offers a limited quantity of "Black Pork Cold Chinese Noodles" which is delicious. I arrived around 13:00 and there were about 5 people in line, but I was able to enter the store in about 15 minutes. The interior of the store with an atmosphere of a local ramen shop and the exterior were both excellent. The hand-written menu was posted all over the wall. Of course, I ordered the Black Pork Cold Chinese Noodles. The beautiful presentation and visual appeal made it clear that it would be delicious just by looking at it. The sauce was light, so the chewy and refreshing noodle flavor came through directly. The spicy chili oil on top of the cucumber was a nice accent and I couldn't stop eating. And the highlight was the incredibly delicious chashu. The texture and flavor were outstanding, and I regretted not adding more toppings. The soft-boiled egg was also perfectly done. I highly recommend trying the "Black Pork Cold Chinese Noodles" while it's available. Thank you for the meal.

I continued my exploration around Imafuku-Tsurumi Station and visited a highly rated ramen restaurant called Tsurya. I arrived just after opening on a Saturday morning and was able to get a table easily. I ordered the large size of their tsukemen, which looked delicious in the photos. The broth had a slightly tangy pork soy sauce flavor, and the noodles were shiny and had a great texture. I quickly finished the large portion. It seems like there are several highly rated restaurants in this area - perhaps there is a historical reason for that. In any case, I highly recommend this place.

There is a coin parking nearby. The restaurant only has a counter. I went there at the last minute without knowing the closing time, but they let me in. I had the extra-large serving of dipping noodles. The appearance and taste of the dipping noodles here were just like the beloved Kadoya Shokudo. It must have been made by someone who used to work at Kadoya. It was truly a taste that I love. Being able to eat this taste without waiting in line is worth it. Highly recommended!

Visited a ramen shop on my way back from a friend's wedding. Despite having a light meal on the Shinkansen, I couldn't resist the tempting smell of ramen. Today, I ordered the tsukemen. The noodles were smooth and really delicious. They were so good that I could eat a whole bowl of noodles on their own. The dipping sauce was of course excellent, and the chashu used in the soup was also tender and delicious. Definitely give it a try!

This is Chuka Soba Tsuruya‼️ I visited around 7:30 pm after work‼️ It's already getting humid and sticky at this time, as we approach the rainy season‼️ The restaurant is packed, with a line outside as well‼️ After waiting for about 10 minutes, I got a seat inside‼️ I got myself some cold water and ordered the summer limited edition dish - Cold Black Pork Chuka‼️ It comes with flat and medium-thick noodles that are nicely chilled and mixed with a sweet and tangy sauce‼️ Mixing it well, the dish is refreshing and delicious, with a good throat feel‼️ Adding mustard to it gives a spicy kick that enhances the flavor‼️ The cucumber with chili sauce is crunchy and juicy, adding a nice texture‼️ The seasoned soft-boiled egg in the middle is perfectly done with a balanced seasoning, making it delicious‼️ The black pork chashu is meaty with a good chew and a nice grilled flavor‼️ It was a cold and delicious meal that I enjoyed this year as well‼️

We visited the renowned restaurant Tsuruya, which we regularly patronize, with our family. We ordered the usual Wonton noodles with extra noodles and seasoned egg. This time, we also ordered rice. Although I was hesitant to order rice as I usually find the soup and noodles satisfying enough, I decided to give it a try. The combination of the soup and rice was excellent. The smooth noodles and rich soup made for a warm and satisfying ramen experience. I will definitely be back for more. Thank you for the delicious meal once again.

I visited this restaurant near my parents' house during Golden Week. While Tsurya's Chinese noodles and tsukemen are delicious, my personal favorite is the Black Pork Umami Ramen. I like to add vinegar and chili oil halfway through to change the flavor. At the end, I leave a little bit of noodles and mix in some rice for a delicious combination. I highly recommend trying the Black Pork Umami Ramen.

Visited around 2pm on a holiday. Since it was outside of lunch time, there were only a few customers and I was able to enter without waiting. I ordered the soy sauce ramen and when asked if I wanted it rich or light, I chose rich. As shown in the photo, it is a simple soy sauce ramen with a rich flavor and some kind of back fat in it, making it a satisfying soy sauce soup. The noodles were chewy and thick, similar to what you would find in tsukemen, and they were delicious. I didn't opt for the large portion this time since it was an additional 300 yen, but on an empty stomach, the regular size might not be enough. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited 3 different spots in Tsurumi-ku for lunch. Here is the menu from one of the places in Nishinagahori, Kadoya Shokudo. They serve delicious tsukemen (dipping noodles) for 1200 yen. The noodles are glossy and incredibly tasty, and the dipping sauce is irresistible. The bamboo shoots, generous chunks of chashu, and diagonally sliced green onions all add to the deliciousness. Now, onto my next spot for the afternoon. It's time to finish up quickly and head home. Thank you for the meal! Kadoya Shokudo Address: 4-11-7 Tsurumi, Tsurumi-ku, Osaka Phone: 06-6912-4374 Opening hours: 11:00-14:30, 18:00-21:30 Closed on Tuesdays and the 3rd Monday of the month Feel free to follow me on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter!

Started work on the 1/4, used to commute last year. Spent the New Year's holiday at home and visited my wife's parents for New Year's greetings only! Let's go out for lunch. Today, for the first time this year, I rode my bicycle to Fukuzumi to have ramen. Oh my, the intended shop was still closed. Should I go to the food court at Izumiya? No, maybe it's open after all. It was open. There were only two people in line, and we were seated at the counter right away. Today, I will have the large serving of Chinese soba for 930 yen plus 300 yen. The bowl arrived with 2 slices of chashu, finely chopped onions, green onions, and finished with black pepper. It whets the appetite. The medium-thick, flat noodles were slightly soft. It was enjoyable. While other ramen shops were closed, I was treated to a delicious meal from the start of the new year.
